Configuration Settings: Auto Attendant
5.22 ARS
When a dialed number matches a short code that specifies that the number should be dialled, there are two
methods by which the routing of the outgoing call can be controlled.
· Routing Calls Directly to a Line
Every line and channel belongs has an Outgoing Group ID setting. Several lines and channels can have
belong to the same Outgoing Group ID. Within short codes that should be routed via a line within that
group, the required Outgoing Group ID is specified in the short code's Line Group ID setting.
· Routing Calls via ARS
The short code for a number can specify an ARS form as the destination. The final routing of the call is
then controlled by the setting available within that ARS form.
ARS Features
· Secondary Dial Tone
The first ARS form to which a call is routed can specify whether the caller should receive secondary dial tone.
· Out of Service Routing
ARS forms can be taken out of service, rerouting any calls to an alternate ARS form while out of service. This can be
done through the configuration or using short codes.
· Out of Hours Routing
ARS forms can reroute calls to an alternate ARS form outside the hours defined by an associated time profile.
· Priority Routing
Alternate routes can be made available to users with sufficient priority if the initial routes specified in an ARS form are
not available. For users with insufficient priority, a delay is applied before the alternate routes become available.
· Line Types
ARS can be used with all line types:
· A SIP line is treated as busy and can follow alternate routes based on the SIP line setting Call Initiation Timeout
. Previously a SIP line was only seen as busy if all the configured channels were in use.
· Main Route
The ARS form 50, named "Main" cannot be deleted. For defaulted systems it is used as a default route for outgoing
calls.
